The Adventures of Robin Hood

This year’s fun-filled family pantomime was a delight – Robin Hood (West End’s Tracey Penn) and his band of Merry Men begin their journey to save Nottingham and rescue Maid Marian from the evil Sheriff (EastEnders bad boy John Altman).

Keeping with traditional themes of lively music, colourful costumes, a Widow Twankey personality and plenty of boo’s and cheers; original elements were added from current affair jokes to modern pop music with street dance choreography.

Some audience participation, slapstick humour and adult overtones, approved it suitable for all age groups and a festive way to celebrate the magic of Christmas.
